    I just found this: http://www.bulldogdsl.com/

    They do 1mb broadband for 22.99, but theres a catch - its only 512k during working hours.

    I ordered it, seems a good deal to me! I'll let ya know how I get on I suppose. If anyone else thinks it sounds a good deal let me know im supposed to get money back if I recommend a friend - I'll split it with ya :lol:

    damn! that is good. I've just ordered NTL 600k for more than that per month as well.

    Thing is it'll probably work out more expensive in the long run, because I have an NTL phoneline & digital tv which gives you a discount. obviously I need a BT line for that Bulldog BBand.

    that's not the only catch.

    there's..
    "A connection charge of 58.75 is applicable. "
    so that makes it (60/12months = 5) + 23 = 28 a month.

    not such a great deal as it would appear.

    full time AOL 1mb service is 30 a month, and 512k is 25 per month with no setup charges and a free modem.

    well yeah there is the connection charge. But I'm thinking long term for this. And I already have the required modems etc.

    was originally looking at the equivalent 512k service thats only 15.99 a month! but that has a 2gb per month download limit [xx(]

    Bulldog have always been very good on price, although there were issues with their service a while back, I think they have been sorted now.

    Did you check ADSL Guide before you signed up ?

    For anybody looking for an ADSL ISP have a look in the forums section (message boards), they have all the UK ISP's in there, so you can get a first hand account from customers of what each ISP's is like.
